joseph1832:I'm serious. Don't you think there's a difference between the qualities of black and the Joy of being one? |
Re: The Joy Of Being Black. by joseph1832(m): 12:27pm On Nov 12, 2015 |
Reyginus:Seriously bro, don't you think the qualities of Nelson Mandela is what is bringing joy to his family now? Even after he's dead and gone? |
Re: The Joy Of Being Black. by Nobody: 12:36pm On Nov 12, 2015 |
joseph1832:No, it is not his qualities but the things he did what them. |
Re: The Joy Of Being Black. by joseph1832(m): 12:42pm On Nov 12, 2015 |
Reyginus:And that's what makes him him. That brought forth his joy. The names I mentioned above are men who did something with their qualities, and those things brought joy. That's why people associates with them. Hope you understand where I'm coming from now? |

joseph1832:I understand. I am only trying to say the poem could have better |
Re: The Joy Of Being Black. by joseph1832(m): 1:37pm On Nov 12, 2015 |
Reyginus:could have what? A better title? I think not! LOL. |
Re: The Joy Of Being Black. by Nobody: 1:58pm On Nov 12, 2015 |
joseph1832:I mean a better content. |
Re: The Joy Of Being Black. by joseph1832(m): 2:10pm On Nov 12, 2015 |
Reyginus:Oh really? Then by all means drop something about being black with' a better content'. Since you feel the content of this one isn't better, let's see you put drop something better. I wait to read it. |

joseph1832:I am not here to attack you. What you need is sweet. I mean in the combinations of the words. But topic wise it doesn't hit anything. Your first line:' I am black because my skin, thought and soul are black', makes little logical sense and explains nothing on the joy of blackness. It is just like saying:'I am rich because my wallet, my mind, my family are rich'. It is simply begging the subject. How does the fact that I'm black because my soul is black becomes a thing of pride? |
Re: The Joy Of Being Black. by joseph1832(m): 2:24pm On Nov 12, 2015 |
Reyginus:Then again, you lack insight. "Know Thyself", that's all I have to say. Have a great day ahead. |
Re: The Joy Of Being Black. by Nobody: 2:27pm On Nov 12, 2015 |
joseph1832:Okay. Explain to me what your first line means? |

As black as black can be. |

Its a cool poem, a little aggressive ,but I'd like to agree with reyginus , the poem could really do much better with more sound content. If you add more substance to it, like real things that make you black and proud , that gives you your own identity and sets you aside with a pride, I think it'd pass across a better message to me. This is just my opinion though. |
Re: The Joy Of Being Black. by joseph1832(m): 3:30pm On Nov 27, 2015 |
Tovot: This part answers the embolden. Am black because Muta Baruka, Malcolm X, Thomas Sankara, Fela Kuti, Odinga Odinga, Marcus Garvey, Nelson Mandela are black! |
